Managing Dementia in Acute and Long-term Care Settings

The goal for this segment is to improve the hospital experience for people with dementia. People with dementia demonstrate challenging behaviors when hospitalized; these behaviors are their way of communicating. We will discuss basic ways to decode the messages. We will also provide non-drug strategies that nurses and family members can use to manage the behaviors.
